Re: Rub Rail

I used the Tessilmare kit from Jamestown distributor. What a beautiful look. Use lots of muscle to install but worth it.

f26 steering

Does anyone have a diagram or manual for the hydraulic steering? I removed my flybridge and will only be using one pump. My concerns are how the uniflow valve gets hooked up to a single pump.

f26 engine stringer replacement

I guess you really do not want your engine flopping around in the engine bay do you?

I Noticed the engine stringers have gotten soft on my 1978 F26. Who has replaced these and could provide some insight on what needs to be done, and who has done it on this model. Your help is appreciated
